Stuck in a moment

What happens when you get stuck in a moment and can't get out of it? (like the song by U2 posted below?)
What happens when you're the only one stuck, in a friendship or relationship, while the other party has moved on?
How sad it feels. Is there everlasting friendship or eternal love?
In your teenage years, friendship and love were your world. You lived, breathed and defined your existence by those.
You thought friends would always be there for you. You thought he might be the one to say the magical words "till death do us part".
Till you realised that some friends were only as good as fast food while love's only part of a fairytale.
Oh those growing up years were painful!
With teared eyes, torn heart and a betrayed soul, you pondered over how things could ever reach such bad state.
"How could they ever forget those happy times together? You mean they were as worthless as waste paper?"
Dealt with formidable blows a few times over, you grow up. Hopefully wiser. Probably stronger.
Life really has strange ways to make you stronger, doesn't it?
Not the best ways, but once you managed one hard-fisted blow across your cheek, you're ready to take on the world!
Now, you treasure your friends, but only those who reciprocate with tender, loving care.
Others who care to belong the the "hullo, goodbye" category -- you don't give a hoot anymore! Or is it? Or is there some kind of perverse attraction for friends/ guys who don't care for you? Or is it just that you're a sentimental crap, different from others?
One who cries in movies, who remembers details of happy moments, who is just so you?
You thought you were good together.
Or so you thought.
That's when you get stuck in a moment and can't get out of it.
Escapism?
Or is it?
Hoping things will turn out for the better?
Or is it?
That's where you pray the last verse of the U2 song comes.
"It's just a moment, this time will pass".
When it comes (eventually and hopefully), say this with a smile to all the friends whom you've been good with before / guys that you've liked: " Thanks for all the wonderful memories.They were beautiful and eternal because you were in them. Although you chose to leave, I wish the best for you. Although our paths are no longer one, I'm glad we travelled some distances together." (It's hard to think this way but no harm trying right??)
More importantly, you know you're thankful that you're still surrounded by so many loved ones.
To all my good friends, thank you for your love, care and support. I couldn't say this enough.
My life is beautiful because of you.
Cheers to our memories and future moments that will surely be deeply etched in my heart.
THANK YOU!

"Stuck In A Moment" by U2
I'm not afraid
Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard

I'm just trying to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company

I never thought you were a fool
But darling look at you
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere baby

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I will not forsake
The colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing

I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see

And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now

My, oh my
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Oh love, look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm 'til you discover how deep
I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass

It's just a moment
This time will pass
